chunking at book level

If you want to build the entire set at once, I'm not sure
how to chunk 
at the book level, maybe one of the wise heads here knows.
But the usual 
way to get one document per book is to build each book
separately, using 
docbook.xsl instead of chunk.xsl.

I don't know your specific constraints, but maybe then your
structure is
not appropriate, a chapter of just 10 lines looks odd to
me.
Maybe lowering all your structure by one level:
set -> book
book -> chapter
chapter-> section

would solve all your problems.

But as I stated, I don't know your other specific
constraints...

I see.

Then I'd suggest a two-steps chain:
1) Extract all books in separate files by applying a simple
splitting
stylesheet
2) Apply your output format transformation stylesheet to
each of the
resulting files.

The advantage of such method is that you can apply any
stylesheet
(notably PDF) to the resulting XML book files.
